Spinal Stenosis – Is There Relief?
Just as we take care of our skin, gut health, weight, or immune system, so we must care for the spine. Our nervous system controls everything in our entire body, and one misalignment can cause a multitude of issues. Spinal Stenosis is the narrowing of spaces in the spine, mostly seen in the neck and low back. The narrowing causes subluxation, or pressure on the nerves. Our nerves communicate with every muscle, cell, organ, and tissue in our bodies, so when that message is distorted or halted, there could be dysfunction as well as pain.
A recent study involving a 66-year-old woman showed that after intensive spinal decompression therapy near me, her spine curvature was greatly improved! The benefits of improved function can mean less pain as well. Despite her degeneration and spinal stenosis, her body was able to itself so she could function and live the best quality of life possible!
Patricia’s Story:
Patricia struggled with spinal stenosis and bulging discs for many years before starting care at Integral Chiropractic Co. She used painkillers often to deal with the symptoms, but nothing got rid of the issue for good. She had doubts that chiropractic would work for her, at first, but after time and repetition with care, she is now able to lie on her stomach to sleep and her feet don’t get cold anymore due to poor blood circulation! Her sons and daughter now also receive care, and her sons no longer have to have breathing treatments or take allergy medication! “My first impression of the office was that I loved everyone, they were all so nice and the atmosphere was very calming.”
